I am a kamba by tribe and come from Machakos County. I attended Katoloni Primary/
Seconday for both my primary and secondary education. I overcome hardship
when I completed my 'O' Level and came to Nairobi and got a job immediately
as I could feed my self and save some money which later I used to start my
Charcoal business. Machakos land is unique as it is very fertile. Their culture
is quite different from other culture because before you marry a girl you
need to give to the father-in-law some goats.
I sell charcoal and the service I provide is to sell at wholesale price while
they are still in the sacks. Charcoal are in demand because near where
I reside there is a slum near by and the use charcoal instead of paraffin.
I choose this kind of business due to financial constraints. They typical costs and
revenue involved was about US$20.00
I use the profit to educate my children and reinvest in the growing the business.
When I get a loan from Zidisha I want to sell paraffin at wholesale price
buy in large quantities.
I wish to expand my business of second hand clothes. I want to buy a bale of bed sheets
and bed covers. This will create benefit to and my family members because it will increase my income. I expect a profit of 50%.
